Not to go OT too much but if the Dumpocraps "defund" local police, who will be doing the policing? FL and particularly my county of Volusia are not too bad as far as police goes--we have baby bear porridge levels of deputies. Most of us don't have a problem policing ourselves, yet will jump all over the transplants calling for defunding for any number of unfounded, racist reasons. We also do not want any MORE police as that will only raise taxes and increase speed traps. We know who the newcomers are and we have our eyes on you...
It would be insane for anyone to get into the law enforcement field at this point in time.
I am out. Never to return. It is not worth the pressures on myself and my family, and the chance of a lawsuit at every turn. I didn't mind the danger, I worried about the aftermath.
did you retire, sir?
Congratulations my man!I put in my pension paperwork this week.
I did some law enforcement in Ohio way back when. Then I did ten years in the Regular Army (no retirement benefits for just ten yeas) then worked in the private sector for ten more years (no 401K) then got back into policing for the last ten. This time I paid in to the state retirement system so it "looks" like I will draw a small but measurable paycheck for the rest of my life.
Goodbye tension, hello pension.

Tulsa Police has a class of recruits in progress at this time. They filled 22 of 30 slots. The next class due to start next month has 10 recruits out of another 30 slots.
I know this is a hijack and I apologize in advance, but someone is getting the policing they've been calling for.

@nitesite congrats! I wish you and your family a very happy retirement! Seems under these circumstances law enforcement is set to lose a lot of really good men and women. Unfortunately, we all know what gets left behind and fills the vacuum.I put in my pension paperwork this week.
